Chapter 98: Fighting with

Lu Chao lowered his eyes and did not speak. After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Yu first, then at Lu Qing.

Lu Qing nodded slightly, and Lu Chao slowly sighed.

"I have no intention of fighting." There was an indescribable emotion in his tone. "Before my mother died, she told me that my father had overcome many difficulties and finally sat on the throne of the world.

As a father's son, one should neither be too stupid nor too smart. One can have the talent to rule the world, but one should not have the ambition to rule the world.

My mother also said that the chaos at that time caused great suffering to the people of the world, and how many innocent people lost their lives because of the years of war. If my father is willing to support me in the future, I hope that I can become a wise ruler one day.

But if my father favors another prince, I won't fight for my own selfish desires. Keeping a low profile and doing good for myself will be a good thing for myself and the people."

Lu Qing sneered, but his eyes grew colder: "You've said this to me more than once or twice.

I am a little curious about what my people were fighting about and why they ended up being wiped out.

And what have I fought for all these years, and why have I become a thorn in the eyes of others?
At my wedding banquet, someone attempted to frame me for poisoning Lu Zhang.

Today is the day of General Cao’s birthday banquet, and someone is plotting against him by using his nephew.

What about next time? Who do you think will be the one in the game? Lu Zhang, or you?
Your Majesty has so far refused to appoint a crown prince, but has turned a blind eye to the private power struggles. If this continues, the world will be in chaos, this is a foregone conclusion.

By that time, who do you think would allow you, the eldest son born to the queen, to remain alone?"

Lu Chao looked expressionlessly at Lu Qing, whose eyes were already slightly annoyed, and suddenly chuckled: "Your master once told you to be calm and not be impatient. It seems that your skills are still not up to par.

My mother said something before she died, but I have never told you.

She said, "People's hearts are more dangerous than mountains and rivers. If the world falls into the hands of tyrannical and unruly people, we can fight them with all our might, for the sake of others and ourselves."

Lu Qing was slightly stunned. Lu Chao's mother, Queen Wang, was Emperor Jin's first wife. They married him before Emperor Jin ascended the throne.

When Lu Qing was young, she was raised by Queen Wang. She was remembered as an extremely kind woman, but she was not very strong. After giving birth to Lu Chao, she was bedridden for many years. Her bedroom was always filled with a bitter smell of medicine.

At that time, Lu Qing was also moved to another concubine's palace for upbringing. After being transferred several times, something happened. Emperor Jin then sent someone to send him to Shanqing Temple, asking him to practice Buddhism with his hair uncut and pray for Queen Wang and the drought in the world at that time.

From then on, Lu Qing never returned to the palace, and later he heard that Queen Wang had passed away.

Lu Chao had said before that Queen Wang had advised him to keep to himself and not to fight for the world for personal gain. This was consistent with Lu Qing's impression of Queen Wang's kind nature.

But he didn't expect that before she died, she would give Lu Chao some final instructions. For a moment, he felt a little melancholy, wondering what this respectable elder had experienced in the last few years of her life.

Seeing Lu Qing's complex expression, Lu Chao knew that some past events had been brought up for him. However, now was not a good time to be sad, so he cleared his throat and said to Lu Qing, "I already know everything you saw and heard in Congzhou. Whether it was the abandonment of farmland and the travel to other places to grow flowers and plants for dyes, or someone deliberately selling cinnabar as cinnabar to spice merchants, all these signs indicate that someone wants to cause chaos in the world.

I originally thought that Duke Yan was incredibly well-connected and could help Lu Zhang secure his throne for generations to come. I never imagined that even with all his shrewdness, he was still being silenced, allowing so many schemes to unfold right under his nose."

"Zhao Bi helped Lu Zhang secure his throne?" Lu Qing laughed sarcastically, "Have you forgotten about Zhao Boce, who always followed Lu Zhang like a shadow?

After all, Zhao Boce is Zhao Bi's legitimate grandson and a member of the Zhao family. Although that guy's skills are not very good, he has great ambitions.

I'm afraid that one day, that muddleheaded Lu Zhang will be thrown to the ground by those grandparents before he even has time to warm up on the throne."

Zhu Yu ate silently on the side, his brain trying hard to digest the huge amount of information in the conversation between Lu Qing and Lu Chao.

Although she didn't know how these two people had hidden their close relationship from everyone, she had some impression of the Zhao Boce they mentioned just now.

During the day, in Cao Tianbao's residence of the General who Auxiliary the State, that man was indeed following behind Lu Zhang, with a grand and arrogant look on his face, walking closely beside Lu Zhang, as if all the flattery and respect shown to Lu Zhang by the people around him were for him.

That man's behavior and style are really not very likable, as he is arrogant and ambitious.

Lu Chao obviously didn't like Zhao Boce. After hearing what Lu Qing said, he smiled slightly and sighed slowly: "At this point, there is no escape. The only thing I can do is to intervene and become the host.

But they are so powerful and intertwined, what are our chances of winning if we just rely on you and me?"

Hearing that he had finally figured it out, Lu Qing's brows relaxed, and with a contemptuous smile, he said, "As the ancients said, a swordsman should show his weakness, open it with sharpness, strike with the back, and strike with the front.

Whether it was at my wedding banquet or today's incident with General Cao, the bottom line is, they were all aimed at Zhao Bi and Lu Zhang.

Now, with such a strong and attractive tree by your side, it is a good time for you to recruit talents, expand your wings, and slowly make progress."

Lu Chao sighed, feeling somewhat helpless about his current situation, but he was determined: "Have you found the person you were looking for?"

Lu Qing didn't expect him to ask this suddenly. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How easy is that? If I could find him so easily, he would have been killed long ago. There would be nothing left of his bones."

"Take your time, you'll eventually find clues." Lu Chao comforted him. He then looked at Zhu Yu and said to her with a slightly sympathetic tone, "But you're in trouble. He brought you here, and you've been dragged into this. Don't even think about getting away with the rest of this."

"Since we are all going to be swept into this torrent and no one can escape, it is better to get on a boat than to struggle aimlessly in the water." Zhu Yu has thought these things through clearly.

Hearing this, Lu Qing laughed out loud and raised his hand, as if there was an invisible rope between him and Zhu Yu. He said to Lu Chao, "We are grasshoppers on the same string. Instead of making trouble in front of her, you should think carefully about how to deal with Zhao Xin, the governor of Runzhou.

This person is smart and cautious, and he is a useful person."
